Kéet Shagóon
The Origin of the Killer Whale
Kéet Shagóon tells the story of Naatsilanéi, who carves a Killer Whale to seek revenge against his brothers-in-law who left him to die on a rock at sea. A company of four Tlingit performers costumed in traditional, pre-European regalia enact the story. Kéet Shagóon combines the aboriginal traditions of oral literature, dance, and song. The video was shot in performance in the fall of 1988. Produced by Sealaska Heritage Institute Naa Kahidi Theater in cooperation with the Klukwan Killer Whale House. 1988. 28 minutes, VHS. |
